Chu Jungui was not far from the rescue cabin and quickly rushed to the rescue cabin. He opened the cover of the rescue cabin, pulled down the emergency breathing mask, and started breathing oxygen. After about a few minutes, he put down his breathing mask, coughed hard, and finally spit out a pool of yellow-green water.

Removing harmful substances from the lungs is an ability that every human being who has completed basic survival training can possess. It just depends on the extent of the removal.

Of course, being able to remove all sulfur-containing harmful substances like Chu Jungui in one go is not something that can be achieved by basic survival training, nor even by advanced survival training.

After cleaning his body, Chu Jungui thought about it and found a breathing mask. He just took off the oxygen supply part and put it on his face. Although the mask cannot supply oxygen, it has a filtering function that can filter out most harmful substances in the air. In this way, Chu Jungui's time away from the rescue cabin will be longer, at least to about half a day, before he needs to return to replace the filter.

There are only two filters left in stock, and they will be out of stock soon.

Chu Jungui started the printer again, inserted all the remaining metal rods and carbon rods, and then selected the primary refiner on the blueprint. But there wasn't enough material on the screen to print out the entire refinery.

However, this was not a problem for Chu Jungui. He had mastered a complete system of basic survival skills and knew the structure of the refining machine well. He simply activated the advanced editing function of the printer and modified the blueprint of the refining machine. He removed the funnel and crushing device at the feed port, and also removed the molding part at the discharge port.

In this way, only the core components of the primary refining machine are left, and the material consumption is greatly reduced.

The printer started up again, and a few minutes later the core part of the refining machine appeared in front of Chu Jungui. This is a machine similar to the size of an ordinary microwave oven, and its core is a multifunctional material separation furnace. It can switch between several modes according to the feeding.

Chu Jungui rushed to the woods again, cut a piece of tree trunk, took some highly acidic sap, and returned to the rescue cabin. He cut several wooden boards out of the tree wall and put them together to serve as feed components. I also used a dagger to dig out several water cups and wooden grooves as part of the exit molding.

As for grinding, he simply did it by hand. He found two big stones, placed the yellow iron pieces on the big stones, and smashed them into pieces. The powdery pieces are then mixed with the sap and put into a refiner. Finally, the polymer battery is inserted as power.

The refining machine is a large energy consumer, and a high-energy polymer battery can only support continuous operation for one hour.

Chu Jungui started the refining machine and within a moment received two large cups full of basic industrial acid, mainly sulfuric acid. After extracting the acid in the feed, he switched modes again, and after a while, several more metal rods, mainly made of iron, were added.

Although these metal rods were a bit rough, Chu Jungui cut them with a dagger and could barely use them in the printer. With the materials, the first thing he did was of course build the feed part and the outlet part of the refining machine, so that he would have a complete material refining machine without the hassle as now.

With the raw materials now available, the next step is to solve the problem of power sources.

Fortunately, when Deep Space Energy was manufacturing a universal material printer, it fully considered the availability of materials and the difficulty of processing, and also provided the ancient lead-acid battery blueprint. Chu Jungui already has sulfuric acid, and he only needs to find some lead to make batteries.

Although lead-acid batteries are far less energy efficient than polymer batteries, the most important thing to survive on a strange planet is to first solve the problem of having them.

But now that pyrrhotite has been found, it is possible to find lead. Even if there was no lead, he could first build a solar panel and charger to recharge the two polymer batteries for repeated use, but it would be more troublesome.

It is much easier to make a stellar energy board. Just find some rocks on the spot and throw them into the refining machine, and you will get a lot of silicon and aluminum. Then throw these materials into the printer. In a short time, Chu Jungui made four Stellar power panel, and a charger. After building these, the polymer batteries in the refiner and printer only had less than half power left.

"You want to survive with just such a small amount of supplies?" Chu Jungui couldn't help complaining in his heart. However, he also knew that every gram of weight that could be carried in the escape capsule was extremely valuable, and basic food and water could never be spared. Coupled with the printer itself, there is basically no excess weight quota.

At this moment, the storm has long since stopped. The sun of this unknown planet is high in the sky. Under the sunlight, the surrounding temperature has risen to 60 degrees. Fortunately, the travel suit Chu Jungui wore also had the function of a space suit, keeping out the intense heat.

Chu Jungui spliced ​​the stellar energy panels together, adjusted the angle so that they could receive the maximum amount of sunlight, then connected the charger, put the two polymer batteries into the charger, and went to explore the forest again.

This time Chu Jungui went deeper and explored for several kilometers before starting to return. His backpack was already filled with various harvests, including a few barely edible tree berries, two small beasts, and a bundle of sodium-rich plants. Then there is a barrel of sap.

But he still couldn't find the water source.

In the forest, Chu Jungui used his arm shield as a shovel and dug ten meters into the ground. He did not see any water seeping out, but the soil became a little moister. During the excavation, he discovered that many large trees had unexpectedly deep root systems. This showed that the depth of the underground water source was probably far greater than expected, so he stopped digging and instead brought a large bucket of sap back.

By the time we returned to the rescue cabin, it was already getting dark.

Chu Jungui leaned against the hull of the rescue cabin, built a firepit with stones in the leeward area, and lit a bonfire.

The climate of this planet is considered to be extreme among habitable planets. As soon as it gets dark, the temperature begins to drop rapidly. It doesn't get dark for long before there is already a hint of chill.

But having a bonfire can make people feel more at ease.

The polymer battery was fully charged. Chu Jungui had power in his hand and was not panicking. There was still a lot of basic metal left, so he simply printed another iron grid, one at each end, and put it on the campfire to become a grill. He then skinned and deboned the three small animals he had hunted, cleaned the internal organs, pierced them with iron skewers and roasted them on the fire.

After a while, the little beast was browned. But what comes out is not a tangy fragrance, but a spicy and stimulating taste.

Chu Jungui tried to take a bite, frowned, and almost spit it out. The meat tasted sour and astringent, with a burning sensation, filling his mouth with burning pain.

The sulfur content on this planet is unusually high, and even the branches and trees contain a lot of sulfur. Roasting this little beast on a fire is equivalent to smoking it with sulfur smoke. It would be strange if it tastes better.

However, it is unpalatable, but the meat is still edible. The scan results showed that the levels of fat, water and protein were not low. As for the sulfur in the smoke, such a small amount could not affect Chu Jungui's intestines and stomach. As an experimental subject, although Chu Jungui's body structure was no different from that of ordinary humans, the strength and function of each organ far exceeded that of ordinary humans.

He frowned and devoured the roasted meat, and in the end he simply turned off his taste function temporarily to prevent himself from spitting it out.

As an experimental subject in the past, he would never vomit because of the unpleasant taste, but would only clean up the poisonous substances in his stomach. Now I feel like vomiting, basically because of psychological factors.

Emotions began to affect the body. This seemed to be Chu Jungui's new weakness, and it was also a shortcoming common to all humans.

He didn't know whether this was good or bad, but judging from the current situation, it seemed that humans naturally had shortcomings of one kind or another, and were far less efficient and perfect than experimental subjects.

A whole five kilograms of barbecue was eaten in Chu Jungui's stomach in the blink of an eye. While the powerful stomach crushes food, it also functions as a primary compression, so his abdomen is flat with only a slight bulge.

Chu Jungui patted his stomach and could only say that he was barely half full. He needs a lot of energy to maintain the consumption of this body, and the basic daily consumption must be more than 15,000 calories. Only athletes who have received professional training or professional warriors who have completed a series of deep space training can compare with ordinary humans.

He was a little troubled. Compared to the complex and inefficient digestion process of humans, it seemed that it would be better to directly use external energy. For example, if you make an interface on the body and insert a nuclear fusion battery, wouldn't everything be solved?

But the mechanical structure in his body is actually very few. There are only a few data interfaces and some microchips scattered throughout the body, which can be regarded as foreign implants.

In this era, various types of auxiliary chips have become widely popular in the middle and upper classes of human society, and there are also many people at the bottom who can be implanted with chips. In the related chip design, manufacturing and even maintenance and update fields, several giants have been entrenched for many years, and their scale and size are no worse than those of giants such as Deep Space Energy.

To a certain extent, the total number of implants in his body may not even be as good as that of a low-level worker.

I don't know what the people who created him thought about loading him with so few implants and replacing them with powerful organs and bodies.

After the food problem is solved, the next step is water. Chu Jungui used most of the power of a polymer battery as a price and used a refiner to decompose a barrel of sap into concentrated acid and pure water.

Although the pure water separated was only a large cup, it solved an urgent need. It just consumes a lot of energy. Chu Jungui can only charge two batteries twice by collecting solar energy for one day.
